Replacement seat fabric for the Volae Comfort mesh seat used on 2012 and newer Volae bikes and tandems. Made in the USA. Volae Mesh Seat Pad sold separately.

Product Notes:

• This seat fabric does not fit Vision recumbents.  Vision has been out of business since 2003 and while Volae did make seat fabric for older style Volae mesh seats (2011 and earlier) and those fabrics did fit most older Vision seats, Volae is now currently out of business and is no longer manufacturing those older style seat fabrics or any other Volae product.  Hostel Shoppe is completely out of stock on the older style shorter back fabric.  You will need to find a way to have your Vision seat fabric repaired or find a creative tailor or seamstress to make you a new one.
• If you have a 2011 or earlier Volae, you can buy this fabric and a Volae Comfort Mesh Seat Frame to retrofit your Volae.  This Volae Comfort Mesh Seat frame does not work on Vision bicycles.  The rear seat stays are not compatible.

The ErgoMesh seat was redesigned for 2013. Without a doubt, the most important thing for recumbent riders is a relaxed seating position. A large-scale market survey and its valuable feedback inspired HP Velotechnik in further development of the ErgoMesh seat. The result? A thoroughly enhanced ErgoMesh seat with notable changes to the seat angle, the seat pan length, and the back rest. The new seat mesh also comes with additional padding for optimum comfort. Please, take a seat and see the results for yourself! Sits 3cm higher than the BodyLink seat.

Several of the many practical tests conducted on the prototypes of the new ErgoMesh seat showed that despite the enhancements, some bottoms could still be made happier. So HP Velotechnik proceeded to develop the ErgoMesh XL, a seat that will conjure up a relaxed smile on the faces of all XL recumbent riders. The XL version is approximately 5 cm wider than the enhanced ErgoMesh version and has a 3 cm longer seat pan and back rest.

Also available for trikes are the Ergomesh HS (High Seat), Ergomesh Standard, and ErgoMesh HS XL. These sit 8cm higher than the standard height ErgoMesh seats. Long Handlebars will also be required.

Product Notes:

• For the Street Machine, if you want to convert an older BodyLink seat setup to the ErgoMesh seat setup, your BodyLink seat must have three mounts, and you will need to get the Street Machine Wide Handlebars to accomodate the ErgoMesh seat. You may also need longer Cables and Housings for the new wide bars.

Get a seat "facelift" with Hase's new one-piece seat fabric. The mesh fabric will work on any Kettwiesel, Lepus, Pino or Tagun seat with a model year of 2005 or later.
